Jimny Lift for dummies in Africa!!

#Safari - Might consider the 3" lift in case the 2" suspension lift plus the 2" body lift still requires the extended brake thingys and the castor bushes... my question still is if i add the 2" body lift i will need those extra things??
Because if i do it is just cheaper to get de 3" lift + brake hoses + castor bushes and no body lift!

#Guardian Angel - Yours is a good option, did you have to get the extended brake hoses?
Could i fit 235/75s with just a 2" suspension lift?

#jonesy - if i had the rear shock repositioners / spacers will it make any difference in case i decide to go for the big tires(max 235/75)?


I should add aswell that havent decided nothing yet, just trying to find out the best solution taking into account money/looks/functionality

And must say that anyway i do need 5 new tires and new suspension... so just trying to cope that with getting the best looks to my jimny, imo the most agressive look possible taking having in mind functionality..

If you're not worried about using it off-road, I think 235s will fit with just a 2" body lift. That would be your cheapest and easiest option.

I have a 2" lift with 235s on but hardly any arch left from chopping ! I would go for the 3" lift to be honest

Thanks to all for the answers and suggestions but still most of my original questions unanswered, thats what happens every time i read posts about this subject!!! i´ll resume it as much as posible below:

So straight to the point:

235/75/15 is a big tyre, i know, but it does what i want it to do, be agressive, but is it going to be that agressive with the gear box aswell??
i will be doing nearly no offroading at all and i´ve seen many that many of you guys are driving 235/75s without changing gearbox...

From reading around im pretty sure i´ll need a minimum 3" lift for this tyres thats why in my original post i wrote the 2" suspension lift plus the 2" body lift.. thing is:
With a 2" suspension lift i wouldnt need the extendable brake hoses and corrected bushes but with the 2" body lift would i need that stuff (hoses and bushes)???????? Thats my main question!! And adding these body lift is there any other part i really should add or change????

Once i have these answers i can decide if i get the the 2" suspension lift (kit procomp) + 2 " body lift
or
Get the 3" suspension lift (kit procomp) + hoses + bushes + ???????Castor Corrected Radius Arms??????
or
Just get the 2" body lift + 1,5" spring spacer - what about that????????? (my shocks are not so good anymore but the springs are nearly brand new)

Yeeeeeeeeeelllllp please!!!!

regarding gearing, i dont think the tyres will damage the gearbox or transfer box but they will put alot more strain on the clutch hense most fit a rocklobster t-box or similar. a few recon you can get away with the stock gearing it if you drive with mechanical sympathy but most seem to agree you need to lower the transfer box gearing.

on a 2" lift with no body lift you only need extended brake lines if you remove the ARB. i would think with the body lift aswell you would need extended hoses and to extend anything else like steering column, not sure exactly what is entailed in a body lift (maybe a search for body lift will provide more info).

think about it logically, a suspension lift raises the chassis (including body) off the axles whereas a body lift raises the body off the chassis.

with 3 ' lift u do not need the body lift regarding gearbox u will do no harm only in offroad u will need more refffffssss and momentum so not to stress the clutch, custer correction try with the bushes first they r quite a good replacement
